Mappa Mundi: On Her Dog's Heart-Shaped Bum
Artist Pia Jane Bijkerk is accepting submissions of photographs of tiny heart imagery for a collective book project called My Heart Wanders: A Collection of Subtle Hearts in Special Places. You could call it a found art collection of found hearts. Lisa Peet, over at Mappa Mundi, waxes rhapsodic about the found heart image she'd like to send, but feels she can't:
Anyone who knows me or reads this blog is aware of how much I love Dorrie. Nearly every evening after a long workday, I drag my sorry self out for a walk with her no matter how unmotivated I am, and she never fails to infect me with her energy and joy at our being out together. She trots along, often slightly ahead of me -- I love The Dog Whisperer but don't subscribe to absolutely everything he preaches, and if she wants to forge ahead a little I have no problem with that, so long as she doesn't pull -- nose in the air, tail held high and happy. And although I don't seek it out, or focus on it in particular, neither do I take great pains to avert my eyes from what presents itself: my dog's pink, very heart-shaped, um... asshole.
Her post is both hilarious and weirdly sweet.
Aww, thanks for the link! From both me and Dorrie.

Yes. Why yes, I totally relate.
